Karen,
You are correct about the way Judy's server is set up and from prior experience that
is normal. You are also correct about theusgenweb.org server and Rootsweb but on the
usgenweb.org server, the NC has access to all sites and on RootsWeb, someone there has
access information to all sites.
I will correct the URL for Glacier County right now.

My tardy moves are because I don't feel that the SC should have full access
to county sites and that is how it is set up on Judy's server, currently
.com but to become .org. I was told that all server managers have access
to a county file and yes that is correct, server managers, NOT the standing
SC. As I wrote to both you and Judy, I have absolutely no problem with you
having access to my counties as I know you, however that is setting up a
dangerous precedent for the future.
When we use RW, the SC does not have access to my county, only RW does.
When we use
mtgenweb.org on
theusgenweb.org server, again the SC does not
have access to my county files. It is my belief that for the good of this
project in the future, the SC should set up the state site as a subfile of
mtgenweb.org/com. I am sure Dennis (tech for Judy) can set up an automatic
directive so that someone typing
mtgenweb.org, will get to that sub file.
That is beyond my technical capabilities but I am sure Dennis can handle
that.
I am installing a new modem today so hopefully I can return to my IP and be
able to FTP to current .org. I had to bridge to my router and that changed
my IP so prevents me from FTPing currently.
As a side note I believe that Cascade is located on John's own server at
montanagenweb.com so he will be unaffected by the move. Also I noticed
that at some point in the last month the link to Glacier was changed to
.com. Glacier disappeared on .com when they had to change the host and I
haven't uploaded again in light of the questions. Please change back to
glacier.mtgenweb.org until I am sure where I am going to be with Glacier.
Thank you,
Karen

I have been informed that when the
mtgenweb.org domain is moved off
the
theusgenweb.org server that county websites on the server and have
mtgenweb.org in their URL will cease to exist.
The decision was made some time ago to move the
mtgenweb.org domain to a
different server and it is time to do so. County websites on the current
server need to move to alternate servers by May 24th. Judy Wallis White has
generously offered webspace for county websites on her server. Google,
Yahoo and Rootsweb offer free webspace as well. The theusgenweb.orgserver may be
available for websites but the sites will have to use a
different URL. Contact Sherri Bradley if that is what you want to do.
Please make arrangements for webspace your website now and be sure to send
me the new URL so I can update our links. The
mtgenweb.org domain will
move by the end of May
According to my records, the following counties need to find alternative
webspace:
